O, dreadful is the check - intense the agony
When the ear begins to hear and the eye begins to see;
When the pulse begins to throb, the brain to think again,

O, dreadful is the check - intense the agony When the ear begins to hear and the eye begins to see; When the pulse begins to throb, the brain to think again, The soul to feel the flesh and the flesh to feel the chain.

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.

George Eliot

Swami Vivekananda

Norman Mailer

Icons in churches and houses are necessary because they remind us of the immortality of the saints; that they live unto Him, (Lk. 20:38) that in God they see, hear, and help us.
